Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Aux Combottes Rossignol-Trapet (Domaine) 2009

The wine

Situated between the grands crus of Latricières-Chambertin and Clos de la Roche, this cuvée benefits from the fresh breeze brought from the surrounding valleys, a wonderful exposure to the sun, and a gravelly soil. The grapes are, therefore, very ripe, offering a silky, round texture. The indulgent and refined nose carries beautifully fruity aromas that are also revealed on the palate.

About the Producer Rossignol-Trapet

The Rossignol-Trapet wine property was established through the alliance of two families, the Rossignols and the Trapets, who were both winemakers in Burgundy (the Rossignols at Volnay, since the 16th century and the Trapets at Gevrey-Chambertin since the 18th century). Nicolas and David Rossignol have been running the Domaine Rossignol-Trapet, situated at Gevrey-Chambertin, since 1990. They own vineyards in the renowned villages of Beaune, Savigny-les-Beaune and of course Gevrey-Chambertin. Today, they use traditional methods which are backed up by new technical and biological knowledge. David and Nicolas strive to maintain high standards in their vineyards to ensure a healthy and quality harvest each year. Since 2004 all the vines are cultivated using biodynamics.
